GE to Build US Solar Panel Factory

Photonics SpectraJul 2011
GE announced that its
full-size cadmium telluride thin-film solar panel has been independently certified
as the most efficient ever reported for the technology. The company intends to manufacture
the panels at a new 400-MW US factory as part of a $600 million investment in solar
technology and commercialization. The factory is expected to produce enough panels
to power 80,000 homes annually and will employ 400 people. The panel was produced
on the PrimeStar 30-MW manufacturing line in Arvada, Colo. and was measured by the
National Renewable Energy Lab at 12.8 percent aperture area efficiency. It surpasses
all previously published records for CdTe thin film, which is the most affordable
solar technology in the industry. GE, which is based in Fairfield, Conn., reported
that it has received more than 100 MW of new orders for thin-film solar products.
